Juneteenth

On June 19th of 1865, the last slaves were freed in Texas.  Mostly.  There were other slaves in states that did not join the Confederacy; they had to wait until the end of the year for the 13th Amendment.  It should be noted that it was Democrats who practiced slavery and Republicans who freed the slaves.  This is not only a holiday for African-Americans, but one for Republicans.  At least, it should be.
